1 INTRODUCTION

The following Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) has been

prepared by ERM Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd (ERM), for the Distell Group

Limited (Distell). This EMPr has been compiled for the installation of three 62

m3 above ground storage tanks (AST’s) for the storage of Carbon Dioxide

(CO2) recovered from a cider fermentation process, and installation of two 30

m3 AST’s for the storage of ethanol (alcohol content between 85 and 86 %) at

the Distell plant in Springs.

The installation of AST’s for fuel storage triggers the following listed activity

in Government Notice R983 (Listing Notice 1):

Activity 14: ‘The development of facilities or infrastructure, for the storage

and handling, of a dangerous good, where such storage occurs in containers

with a combined capacity of 80 cubic metres or more but not exceeding 500

cubic metres’.

This EMPr is presented in draft format and will be submitted to the Gauteng

Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD). Distell remains

responsible for the accuracy and relevance of the information contained in this

EMPr while the EMPr remains a ‘live’ document and makes provision for

updating during the detailed design and planning phase, and incorporation of

any relevant condition in the environmental authorisation (EA).

This EMPr covers the installation of the ASTs as well as the operational and

decommissioning phases. A description of the roles and responsibilities of the

various parties involved with these activities has been provided. In addition,

the potential environmental impacts and associated mitigation measures have

been identified for excavation, AST installation activities as well as the general

operational requirements.

PURPOSE

The Emergency Plan has been developed for the safety and welfare of all employees as well as for reducing impacts posed by our activities on environment. Actions outlined herein must be followed by every employee, contractor and visitor to enable the appropriate response to, and ultimately recover from, an emergency, crisis or contingency that threatens personnel or property or our environment or product safety. To ensure that emergency incidents that impact on product safety are responded to and managed in a planned, effective manner that will eliminate/minimise any potential harm to the consumer and prevent the recurrence of such incidents. Compliance with this plan, therefore, is mandatory for all employees, contractors and visitors. The basic action that must be taken by every employee upon becoming aware of an emergency / crisis is to notify the Security immediately, telephone number - Security Ext: 9125 or to raise the alarm via the closest manual call fire alarm.

This procedure will be reviewed annually or when ever there has been a major change to the process or systems.

4. SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY 4.1. General Distell - Springs is a ready-to-drink alcohol bottling and canning plant situated in Nuffiled. Range

of finished products is Hunter Dry Cider, Savana, Mainstay Mixers and Klippies & Cola. 4.2. Scope The Emergency Plan contains the policy and a generalised description of personnel, program,

and equipment, outside agency assistance that together comprise Distell - Springs response to an emergency situation. This plan is designed to compliment the normal operation of the company and does not supersede normal operating procedures until an emergency situation occurs.

The life preserving and safety provisions contained herein supersede security of personnel and

property is a secondary consideration whenever a period of potential danger to life or limb exists. While the safeguarding of personnel and property is of secondary concern, however, it is still of major critical importance

The Emergency Plan details the steps to be followed in response to an incident or situation that

impacts or has the potential to impact on product/consumer safety occurs. This includes:-

• Finished product already dispatched

• Finished product still in our control

• Work-in-process/semi-finished product

• Raw or packaging material

This incident will typically include:- Release of non-conforming product into the trade where non-conformance falls into the following hazard category; � Micro � Chemical � Physical

Accident resulting in product damage/exposure during distribution

• Loss of control by supply chain over product during distribution

• Flooding of manufacturing/storage/distribution facility

• Fire in manufacturing/storage/distribution facility

• Sabotage (breach of food security leading to adulteration.)

• Bio-terrorism

• Strike Action As described in the Emergency Plan the Emergency Controller normally directs physical

security efforts during a crisis / emergency. He / she has authority to stop egress from the division facilities except where personal safety or injury or potential thereof are involved. The saving of lives and the protection of personnel prevail in the event that this plan conflicts with any other plan, policy or procedure.

6.1 General In order to prepare the Site for an Emergency situation, a site evacuation drill will be conducted at least twice per annum across all shifts. Drills to be conducted for the day shift and another for the night shift. Where possible, this simulation will include an element of Environmental Preparedness or Food Safety.

During this drill, a scenario will be set in relation to the Site Risk Profile. All areas are required to participate, including Contractors and Visitors. The Emergency plan will be utilised during this scenario and the effectiveness monitored. A Report will be issued thereafter. Any findings which the Site is unable to deal with in a specified manner will be prioritised and placed on the relevant SHE Plan for follow-up and closure.

7. SUMMARY OF EMERGENCY PLAN 7.1. General Emergency conditions that could occur at Distell - Springs, can be grouped into six basic

categories, as lined out within the comprehensive Emergency Plan, and include (in order of increasing severity):

1.1 Personnel emergencies 1.2 Emergency alerts 1.3 Localised emergencies 1.4 Plant emergencies 1.5 Site emergencies and 1.6 General emergencies 1.7 Food Safety and security 7.2. A Typical Emergency Scenario Word of a potential emergency / crisis - for example, fire, bomb, chemical spill, gas leak is

received during normal working hours. An employee could raise the alarm within the department or security personnel. All personnel will be made to evacuate. Evacuation will presume in the following manner, all staff to switch off their machines and close all windows. Employees must assemble at pre-designated assembly points and roll call is initiated.

Emergeny team members need to assemble at roll call first before committing to their duties. First aiders will report to the medical triage after roll call and commence first aid as it is required

and notification is made to appropriate agencies and personnel. Fire team members will report to their assembly point after roll call then procede to follow the fire

team marshalls orders. The Emergency Control Centre (Security Guard House) is activated / established and EAC

personnel assemble. Preparation for rescue and / re-entry are made. Security establishes perimeter protection to prevent the general public and employees from approaching or leaving the factory. This precaution is to prevent theft of product and to assist responding agencies and personnel responding to the Emergency Scenario. Appropriate measures are instituted to overcome the emergency.

The Emergency Plan will remain in effect until the facility is re-occupied.

8. EMERGENCY CONDITIONS

8.1. Personnel Emergencies

Personnel emergencies consist of any injury resulting from an accident or other occurrence on site. Personnel emergencies normally do not activate the EAC; however, they may require local ambulance or medical services. All personnel injuries must be reported to the Risk Controller.

a. MINOR INJURIES, patient is mobile and capable of evacuating him or herself for any necessary medical evaluation. The injured person may return to work or depart the area for medical evaluation. This type of injury does not activate the EAC; however the patient may require assistance in administrating first aid. Such assistance is usually supplied by on site trained medical personnel or security personnel trained in first aid. Examples of this type of injury include minor acid or caustic burns (restricted to a small area of the body, contusions, lacerations, minor cuts, bumps or sprains requiring medical evaluation

b. SERIOUS INJURIES, the patient is mobile. Attendance as for (a) above except the patient will receive assisted evacuation for additional evaluation. Serious lacerations requiring several stitches, contusions, or sprains incapacitating individuals to the extent that the patient must be accompanied to the medical facility for additional evaluation, acid or alkaline burns covering a large portion of the body, suspected fractures leaving the patient ambulatory, someone rendered unconscious (but revived), electric shock, and exposure to toxic fumes or gases are examples of ambulatory serious injuries.

c. SEVERE, SERIOUS INJURIES, patient immobile. This necessitates outside medical evacuation assistance. This type of injury will probably activate a first aid team, which administer immediate first aid and prepare the victim for evacuation. Arterial bleeding, serious acid or alkaline burns, broken legs, and unconscious patients are examples of this type of injury. In case of death the Risk Controller must be notified.

ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL CRISIS. Threats, express or implied, to any employee where the objective is to force Distell - Springs to follow a course of action not of its choosing, will cause activation of the EAC. Examples include kidnapping, hostage situation, bomb threats and violent acts or threats thereof. In any such case, the EAC will be activated by the Emergency Controller or higher authority upon the recommendation of the Emergency Controller.

8.2. Emergency Alert

This classification of emergency involves specific situations that create hazard potential that was previously non-existent or latent. No damage to the facility has occurred nor have any personnel within the facility been harmed. These situation are not serious enough in nature to declare a higher state of emergency, however, they do require evaluation, special equipment, or special operations to preclude escalation to a higher state of alert. Emergency alerts include responses to:

a. NATURAL PHENOMENA such as severe weather. Examples of this type of emergency alert are, flooding; lightening striking the facility, a violent thunderstorm that causes the loss of electricity or destruction of property or endangers personnel.

b. FIRE IN A PROTECTED AREA. Examples of this type of emergency alert are small controllable fires within 200 metres, but not closer than 10 meters, of the facilities and an uncontrolled fire more than 200 meters from the facilities.


Revision No: 1



Date: 17 July2013


12

c. CERTAIN SECURITY BREACHES. Examples of this type of emergency alert are the receipt of a bomb threat, two or more persons initiating an organised demonstration on company property, or any civil disturbance occurring on adjacent public property.

MISCELLANEOUS OCCURRENCES. Examples of this type of emergency alert are unexpected release of toxic gases or liquid, loss of commercially furnished electricity for more than 30 minutes, two or more serious injuries occurring simultaneously, or any unsafe situation not previously described that requires special evaluation.

Normally, damages to the facility that cause an emergency alert will initially be evaluated by

internal personnel. There may be occasions, however, where corrective action will be to existing security procedures. Should such an occasion arise it will be the duty of the Emergency Controller to co-ordinate and evaluate the situation, keeping in contact with the EAC.

8.3. Localised Emergencies

This classification involves abnormal conditions, restricted to a small portion of the facility that does not interfere with the overall operation of the facility. This type of emergency will not activate the EAC. The situation will normally be neutralised by operator-immediate actions, however, certain specialised assistance (depends on the situation) may be required. It therefore remains essential to follow the EP as laid out. Small explosions, isolated equipment malfunctions, failure of electrical circuits, and spills are examples of localised emergencies.

8.4. Plant Emergencies

This classification involves severe damage or threat of severe damage to facilities. It requires an evaluation to determine how the situation can be neutralised without escalation to a higher emergency classification.

A plant emergency will most likely be caused by natural phenomena (severe weather or earthquake), security breach (sabotage, civil disturbance, or bomb threat), and fire outside the facilities or plant failure. The following are examples of this type of emergency:

a. NATURAL PHENOMENA causing: i. Uncontrolled release of toxic gases or liquids. ii Damage to the manufacturing area exhaust system, such as roof ventilation

structures having panels or guy wires broken or missing.

b. SECURITY BREACHES such as: i. A successful act of sabotage. ii. A disturbance involving ten or more people. iii. A bomb determined to be authentic.

c. FIRES located: i. Closer than 10 meters to or in a building.

ii. Controllable fires within buildings that can easily be extinguished with emergency equipment.

d. PLANT FAILURE

e. LOSS OF SERVICE

Conditions that cause a plant emergency normally cannot be completely neutralised by the personnel (emergency team) and equipment available. It is therefore essential to follow procedures as laid out under the heading Emergency Procedure.

8.5. Site Emergencies


Revision No: 1



Date: 17 July2013


13

This classification of emergency involves a situation that is an immediate threat to the life or safety of persons inside the facilities. Most site emergencies will result in an immediate or eventual evacuation from the facilities. Site emergencies can result from a security breach, a natural phenomenon, or a fire that engulfs a building or buildings.

Examples of site emergencies are: i. A successful act of sabotage causing severe damage to facilities. ii. A covert armed attack. iii. A tank or pipe within a building that ruptures releasing toxic / hazardous chemicals (and

the resulting leak cannot be controlled) iv. Severe damage to company facilities due to an earthquake or other. v. A major fire that renders the facility untenable.

Conditions that cause a plant emergency normally cannot be completely neutralised by the personnel (emergency team) and equipment available. It is therefore essential to follow procedures as laid out under the heading Emergency Procedure.

8.6. General Emergencies

The classification of emergency involves any situation that poses a substantial safety hazard to those persons residing immediately adjacent to company property. The likelihood of occurrence of an emergency of this sort is extremely low.

A general emergency might occur if two catastrophic natural phenomena occurred almost simultaneously. An example would be a lighting strike causing structural damage and loss of utilities followed immediately by a major fire.

A general emergency could occur, for example if the facility were captured and held hostage by a terrorist group that announced they possessed enough of the correct materials to blow up the facility.

A general emergency could also occur should a pressure vessel / tank rupture and release toxic spill / gas cloud.

Site or general emergencies resulting from natural phenomenon will be assessed after re-entry has been approved. Damage of great magnitude may require product and / or equipment to be removed. Outside contractor assistance may be required to repair structural damage.

A large scale catastrophe such as an Airplane crash may create a situation that taxes the normal resources of the businesses. The severity of the disaster may be of such magnitude that outside assistance will be required from state and/ or local municipality.

The purpose of this plan is to formulate a comprehensive action rescue, medical and fire fighting operations to combat the effects of a major Airplane crash that might occur within Distell - Springs.

Notification of an emergency will be given to the EAC via the Emergency Controller. Outside services and agencies that can be expected to render support as necessary are listed on 9.3

8.7 Food Safety Emergency

When an incident occurs, the following steps are taken;

1. The Quality Emergency Champion is immediately notified 2. The Emergency Champion immediately informs the site/operation/organisational leadership and a

response plan developed 3. A clear, unambiguous, statement detailing the nature, extent of the emergency and response plan

is issued to all internal stakeholders. Nobody speaks to the media besides corporate affairs.


Revision No: 1



Date: 17 July2013


14

4. Based on the severity of the incident, the appropriate government/media agencies are informed after consultation with the company’s legal representatives.

Control of affected product:

Quarantining of product/areas:

• All affected product and corresponding raw components (where relevant) is immediately placed on hold or frozen in the electronic system.

• Affected product is physically tagged for a Food Safety Emergency and, where possible, segregated from other product.

• If the quarantined product is cleared by laboratory tests, only the QC Emergency Champion is authorised to release the product.

Recall of affected product:

• The exact location of all affected product outside of the direct control of the organisation (e.g. in transit, in distribution warehouses, retail shelves) is established.

• All stakeholders holding affected product are notified of the incident by the appropriate person.

• The collection of all affected product is co-ordinated by the QC Emergency Champion according to the organisation’s recall procedure.

• All recalled product is tagged and segregated.

• If the recalled product is cleared by laboratory tests, only the QC Emergency Champion is authorised to release the product

Laboratory testing of affected product

• A statistically significant number of samples are sent to the organisation’s internal laboratory for testing, where test method is available.

• A statistically significant number of samples are sent to an external, appropriately accredited laboratory by the QC Emergency Champion.

• Both internal and external laboratory results are analysed and interpreted by subject matter experts before they are published.

Destruction/disposing of affected product:

• Where the quarantined/recalled product is found, to be contaminated/adulterated and not fit for consumption, it is disposed of according to the guidelines in the MSDS (where relevant) and according to environmental safety regulations

• The destruction/disposing of affected product by an accredited external environmental waste is supervised by the QC Emergency Team members or subject matter experts where possible.

• The environmental waste company responsible for the destruction/disposition of affected product issues safe disposal certificate.

External support contact:

• Where deemed necessary by the QC Emergency Team and organisational leadership, external support is solicited. External support will typically be: -

� External laboratories � Environmental waste companies � Subject matter experts on raw ingredients/test methods � Regulatory/statutory bodies


Revision No: 1



Date: 17 July2013


15

External communication:

• In the event of a FS emergency incident, external communication is conducted by the corporate affairs

• Based on the severity of the emergency, some communication will be conducted by the organisational leader. In such instances, such communication will be approved and co-ordinated by the corporate affairs.

Post-incident evaluation:

• When an emergency incident has occurred, the QC Emergency Champion writes a full report on the incident and specifically the response to the incident.

• The emergency incident report is discussed and analysed at the next Emergency Team meeting and improvement recommendations made

• The emergency incident report is handed over to the organisational leadership for discussion and endorsement and forms part of the next biannual management review

• Improvement recommendations are adopted and incorporated into the Emergency Plan.

9. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Organisational Control and Emergencies: Organisation control begins prior to the occurrence of an emergency as emergency related planning and training responsibilities are assigned to certain job positions within the normal plant organisation. 9.1 Normal Plant Organisation - Employees - Emergency Teams - Roll call takers The duties of each category mentioned above are captured in Appendix 2 and 3 9.2 On-Site Emergency Organisation Emergency Controller: The Emergency Controller / Security / Risk Controller or whichever EAC member arrives first, can

taken for refilling.

- First aid boxes must be refilled / restocked before placing them back on standby, by the responsible person. Missing items can be ordered from the Medical Centre.

- Risk Department - Safety cupboards must be refilled if equipment has been used.

The responsible person for Risk Management must do this.

- Breathing apparatus equipment must be refilled. New canisters must be fitted to

ammonia masks.

- After fire treat water as spill and follow spill clean-up procedure to avoid it going into storm water drains.

9.7 Rescue Procedure – Working at Heights When operatives are suspended in mid-air after a fall, their lives hang in the balance - even if they have survived the fall without a scratch. The intention of this guidance is to help to fully understand the implications of an operative falling, being arrested and then suspended by a harness, which initially saves them, but minutes later may kill them due to suspension trauma. This rescue procedure covers “suspension trauma” which is caused by orthostatic intolerance and is the result of venous pooling.

9.7a Suspension Trauma: suspended for durations of over five minutes in an upright posture with the legs relaxed straight beneath the body 9.7b Orthostatic Intolerance: is a subcategory of dysautonomia – a Disorder of the autonomic nervous system occurring when an individual stands up

9.7c Venous Pooling: this occurs any time a person is required to stand still for prolonged periods and may be worsened by heat and dehydration 9.7.1 Critical Phases of Rescue 9.7.1a Before the Fall - Harness should be comfortable and not interfere with the task If it is not convenient it must not be used

Restraint Lifelines should be created – to allow maximum flexibility.

Working in restraint prevents the operative from falling, yet should a fall occur the arrest distance is kept to a minimum

9.7.1b At Fall Arrest - Operatives who fall need to be stopped by a tethering system. An attachment near the shoulders means that any drag from the lanyard will serve to position the operative's body in an upright position so the forces are distributed from head to foot. The head is somewhat protected if the legs and body precede it in the fall, but this offers some disadvantages after the fall arrest is

Completed

9.7.1c Suspension - An operative suspended in an upright position with the legs dangling in a harness of any type is subject to suspension trauma and orthostatic intolerance. Fall victims can slow the onset of suspension trauma by pushing down vigorously with the legs, by positioning their body in a slight leg-high position or, by standing up. Harness design and fall injuries may prevent these actions. 9.7.1d Post-fall Rescue- Rescue must come rapidly to minimise the dangers of suspension trauma. The circumstances together with the lanyard attachment point will determine the possibility of self-rescue. In situations where self-rescue is not possible, operatives must be supervised at all times. Regardless of whether an operative can self-rescue or must rely on others, time is of the essence because an operative may lose consciousness in only a few minutes. For conscious casualties it is recommended (where possible) that the suspended person keep their legs moving to keep the blood pumping and reduce the risk of venous pooling. 9.7.2 Rescue Plan

The possible signs and symptoms of orthostatic intolerance can start to be seen in 2/3 minutes and can include:

• Faintness

• Nausea

• Breathlessness

• Dizziness

• Sweating

• Unusually low heart rate

• Unusually low blood pressure

• Paleness

• Hot flushes

• Skin tone may appear grey in colour

• Loss of vision

• Increased heart rate

Owing to the possibility of damage to vital organs - the result of suspension trauma - it is recommended

that all recovered casualties should be taken to their nearest Accident & Emergency Unit for examination

and observation. Rescue plans are required for:

• Preventing prolonged suspension

• Performing rescue and treatment as quickly as possible

• Identifying orthostatic intolerance signs and symptoms Management's reasonability for safety needs to give careful consideration to the methodology of rescuing a fallen operative. Such considerations should include:

• Calling for help - Parkland Trauma Unit services 011 812 - 4000

• Crane Man Basket - This option can be used but has severe limitations With regards to building façades and often is not able to provide access and rescue internal to the structure

• Mobile Elevating Work Platform - This option for rescue can have its limitations such as available access and height restriction as the casualty may be at a height greater than the reach of the MEWP

• Rope Access Rescue - Rope rescue requires a technical competency, which demands a high level of training and re- training to acquire and retain this skill set. Given the limited time to complete a rescue, trained rope rescue personnel would need to be on stand-by and within close proximity to any incident. Donning the necessary kit to carry out a rope rescue can also be time consuming given that every minute the casualty is hanging is critical. Perhaps the greatest restriction is that it is a skill to which only a few would, or could, be. trained

Third Party Rescue - There are a number of considerations to take into account when considering third part rescue systems. In every consideration TIME is the critical factor and should be done as quickly as possible, but 100 percent safe for the rescue crew. The speed with which the system can be deployed and the rescue carried out is vitally important, as is the SIMPLICITY and EASE of use so that a typical operative can deploy and

carry out a rescue after being trained. Whichever methodology is chosen, the target time should be to rescue the casualty in under five minutes. 9.7.3 Planning for Fall Protection must include Rescue


Revision No: 1



Date: 17 July2013


21

Having a rescue plan is just as important as having a fall protection plan. No site should have one without the other. Just putting together a fall protection program without rescue is only doing half the job.

The onus is on Management to ensure that the suspended operative is rescued quickly. That means ensuring that for anyone who is working at height, there's a rescue plan. Fall protection must include an emergency rescue plan.

How will the rescue of an operative who has fallen and is suspended in a fall-arrest system be conducted? By answering some basic questions can help in developing a rescue plan

The following questions should be applicable: (Refer to Rescue Procedure 11.34a for details)

• If an operative's fall is arrested can they be rescued in under five minutes?

• How will you know that someone has fallen?

• Will someone see it happen?

• What communication systems will be used between the suspended operative and the rescue team?

• How will the operative call for help?

• Who will the Co-worker call?

• Is information available? Who and how will it be communicated?

• How will the safety of the rescuers be assured, as well as that of the suspended operative?

• How will rescue workers get to the casualty?

• How will rescue be assured within five minutes of the occurrence of a fall to minimize the risk of further injury or death due to suspension trauma? And, what rescue equipment is needed?

• What if the operative is injured?

• How will others personnel be protected?

• How will the accident scene be protected?

• Are there other considerations?

9.8.2.2 Fall hazards Most confined space configurations are below ground or elevated and are accessed by steep ladders. These ladders are usually slippery and are made with small foot surfaces (i.e. steps in a manhole) 9.8.2.3 Engulfment Danger This is a special consideration in confined space where the area can be immediately Filled or flooded with gas, liquid, or fire with little or no warning.

9.8.2 Response to Confined Space Incident

9.8.2.1 Evaluate Figure out if there is a confined space emergency to begin with, determine the number of patients (if any), and determine if it is rescue vs. recovery. 9.8.2.2. Hazards Identify if any hazards are present, to what extent, and special considerations because of hazards. Is there any type of contamination present or possible. If so, figure type, extent, and problems it may create like where contaminants are going. 9.8.2.3 Points / Persons of Interest Identify people involved in the incident prior to emergency who can be a valuable source of information.

Identify MSDS, existing ventilation systems, points of entry, and if there is an entry permit. 9.8.2.4 Shut down / Lock - out

When performing shut down, be careful that it won’t shut down or disable essential systems such as ventilation equipment. 9.8.2.5 Ventilation

Begin ventilation procedures if possible, the earlier the better. Do not ventilate with pure O2.

9.8.2.6 Secure / Reduce Hazards

Establish hot, warm, and cold zones and stay out. Restrict access by everyone, evacuate necessary areas, and shut off, move, or stabilize equipment around site.

10. Departmental/Zone Specific Emergency Procedures

10.1. CARBON DIOXIDE TANK FARM/ LEAK/FIRE/EXPLOSION EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

1 General Information: Carbon Dioxide incidents Carbon dioxide is a toxic, odourless, colourless gas with a slightly pungent, acid taste. CO2 gas is 1.5 times as heavy as air, thus if released to the air it will concentrate at low elevations. Air

containing more than 10% CO2, if breathed, can be life-threatening. Such concentrations may build up in confined and not good ventilated areas. Caution must be exercised when entering these types of confined spaces. 2 General use on site Carbon dioxide will be brought onsite by Afrox and offloaded from storage trailers into the main holding vessels. The Carbon dioxide is used to carbonate the finish product. 3 How to detect a carbon dioxide leak/fire

• Carbon dioxide is a colourless and odourless gas and is not visible to the naked eye.

• Carbon dioxide is a COMPRESSED GAS and will not burn

• However, cylinders or containers may rupture or explode in the heat of a fire. EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

Evacuation All personell will have to evacuate to the emergency evacuation area, a wind sock has been placed ontop of the cellars to determine wind direction. Move in a up wind motion to avoid getting trapped by the gas down wind. And attendance registers will have to be filled in to account for all personell. Only when its declared safe by the Emergency Controller or alternatively by the Maintenance Manager personell may return back to their work stations and carry on with normal duties . This will be done as a safety measure as the CO2 tanks are outside and open to air there will be no significant threat to persons working inside the factory due to CO2 gass. Possible areas that could be affected by a Carbon Dioxide incident are: 1. Boiler House – Gas & Coal 2. Waste Area 3. Production Area 4. Admin Area 5. Warehouse 6. Neighbours - Bevcan 1. Scenario 1: Leak/Fire/Explosion of Carbon dioxide from holding vessel

10.13 BIOLOGICAL THREAT PROCEDURE:

OBJECTIVE

Fears of bio-terrorist attacks have been sweeping the world in recent times. Envelopes containing the animal disease anthrax have been sent to media organisations as well as politicians. Confirmed incidents have so far been restricted to the US, but a number of false alarms and hoaxes have been reported around the world.

It has become necessary to take note of a possible anthrax threat and the precautionary steps to be taken.

WHAT IS ANTHRAX?

ANTHRAX is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax most commonly occurs in wild and domestic animals (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelope and other herbivores) but it also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or to the intentional release of anthrax spores as a biological weapon.

Anthrax is considered to be a potential agent for use in biological warfare and several incidents

have recently occurred not only in the United States but also worldwide.

HOW ANTHRAX IS TRANSMITTED? Anthrax infection can occur in three forms: cutaneous (skin), inhalation and gastrointestinal. B.

anthracis spores can live in the soil for many years and humans can become infected with anthrax by handling products from infected animals or by direct contact or inhaling spores that are intentionally released as a biological weapon. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ANTHRAX?

Symptoms of disease vary depending how the disease as contracted, but symptoms usually occur within 7 days.

Cutaneous: Most (about 95%) of anthrax infections occur when the bacterium enters a cut or

abrasion on the skin. Skin infections begin as a raised hump that resembles an insect bite within 1 to 2 days develops into vesicle and then a painless ulcer, usually 1 to 3 cm in diameter, with a characteristic black nectrotic (dying_ area in the centre. Lymph gland in the adjacent area may

swell. About 20% of untreated cases of cutaneous anthrax will result in death. Deaths are rare with appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Inhalation: Initial symptoms may resemble a common cold. After several days, the symptoms

may progress to severe breathing problems and shock. Inhalation of anthrax is usually fatal Intestinal: The intestinal disease form of anthrax is characterised by an acute inflammation of the

intestinal tract. Initial signs of nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, fever following by abdominal pain, vomiting blood, and severe diarrhoea. Intestinal anthrax results in death in 25% to 60% of cases.

CAN ANTHRAX BE SPREAD FROM PERSON TO PERSON? The disease is infectious and not contagious. In other words, direct person-to-person spread of anthrax is extremely unlikely to occur. Communicability is not a concern in managing or visiting with patients with inhalation anthrax. IS THERE A TREATMENT FOR ANTHRAX?

Doctors can prescribe effective antibiotics. To be effective, treatment should be initiated early. If left untreated, the disease can be fatal.

HOW TO HANDLE ANTHRAX AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL AGENT THREATS?

Anthrax threats are very similar to bomb threats and cannot be ignored. Dealt with responsibly, no anthrax threat, even if it is real, should have serious consequences. Many facilities in communities around the world have received anthrax threat letters. Most were empty envelopes; some contained powdery substances. The purposes, of these guidelines are to recommend procedures for handling such incidents. DO NOT PANIC: For anthrax to be effective as a covert agent, it must be aerosolised into very small particles. This is difficult to do and requires a great deal of technical skill and special equipment. If these small particles are inhaled, life-threatening lung infection can occur, but prompt recognition and treatment are effective. Suspicious letters of packages: Do not shake or empty the contents of any suspicious envelopes or packages. Do not try to clean up powders or fluids. Place the envelope or package in a plastic bag or some other container to prevent leakage of contents. If you do not have another container, then cover the envelope or package with anything (e.g. clothing, paper, trash can, etc.) and do not remove this cover. Then leave the room and close the door, or cordon off the area to prevent others from entering (i.e. keep others away). Finally, wash your hands with soap and water to prevent spreading of any powder to your face or skin. Notify security or an available supervisor, who must notify the emergency controller. If possible, list all the people who were in the room or area when this suspicious letter or package was recognised. Give this list to the emergency controller to follow up and investigate. Remove heavily contaminated clothing and place in a plastic bag that can be seale3d and give the bag to the emergency controller.

Shut down air conditioning systems in the building. Shower with soap and water as soon as possible. Do not use bleach or a disinfectant on your skin.

10.14 WORK STOPPAGE PROCEDURE: OBJECTIVE:

To initially ensure that any work stoppage is handled in such a way as to minimise loss or damage to company assets, and to ensure that normal work is resumed as quickly as possible. METHOD:

o The General Manager and the HR Manager must be contacted immediately.

o The workforce must be asked to return to work immediately. If they refuse, they should

be asked to move to the canteen area.

o The canteen ( kitchen and sales ) must be closed from operation.

o Once the factory is clear all outside doors must be locked.

o The managers must call together supervisors and engineering staff and co-ordinate a “sweep” of the factory to ensure that there are no risks of fire or damage to equipment.

o The HR Manager should arrange a meeting with the shop stewards to ascertain the

nature of the problem, employee demands etc.

� This must be communicated to the General Manager.

o The shop stewards must be encouraged to get the work force back to work. If they refuse

to return to work, the Managers must co-ordinate the closing of the production lines and the switching off of equipment.

o If the work stoppage takes place at night, a meeting must be set up for no later than 08h00 on the next working day and workers who are unwilling to work should be advised to leave site and go home. Work will be found for any employee willing to work.

o If workers wish to stay on site due to transport problems, they can use the ablution

facilities.

o Employees arriving for the next shift must be appraised of the situation but can only be allowed to start the next shift.

o Efforts must be made to make contact with the outside FAWU Official (through the shop

stewards) to attend the meeting on the next working day.

o Additional security must be called for from the security company.

� NB! If any violence or damage to company property occurs, the SAPS must be called and the site cleared.

10.15 SALVAGE PROCEDURE


Revision No: 1



Date: 17 July2013


40

OBJECTIVE:

It is of utmost importance that salvage operations form part of site emergency planning. This process is designed to minimise financial loss. SALVAGE EQUIPMENT: The following salvage equipment is needed for the following situations:

o For moving stock – forklifts, pallet jacks and spare pallets. o For reducing water damage – Portable pumps, dollies filled with sand, drain covers,

tarpaulins and polythene or plastic sheets. o For cleaning up after fires – Brooms, brushes, mops, buckets, squeegees, spades,

cleaning rags, waste and chamois leathers, bags of sawdust, oil cans and heaters for drying purposes.

o For securing of the premises after fires – Hammers and nails, pad locks and various building materials.

PRE – PLANNING FOR SALVAGE: Salvage operations will be carried out by the site fire team, assisted by nominated members from the electrical and engineering departments. The salvage team will operate under instructions of the plant engineer. To ensure that the salvage operations are carried out efficiently, the following should be considered:

o What plant / stock can be moved, how should it be

moved and where to. o The location of storm water drains and drainage channels which could be used for the

removal of water from these buildings and how water can be directed from these.

o The possibility of lessening the effects of smoke by ventilation and containment.

SALVAGE AFTER A FIRE:

• In the event of a fire, salvage work should start as soon as it is safe to do so.

• The first consideration would be to protect vital equipment and stock next to and below the fire floor. Perishables and goods susceptible to water damage should be lifted off the floor and covered, damming up water to prevent flooding of areas not affected by the fire.

• Prevent smoke damage of areas not affected by fire. Keep doors and other internal openings closed.

AFTER THE FIRE:

• Restore automatic extinguishing or detection systems to working condition. To prevent further damage or rust to machinery, dry and oil. If artificial heating is used, this must be carried out under strict supervision.

• Openings in roofs and windows can be temporarily covered to protect against the elements.

EMERGENCY SPILL PROCEDURES OBJECTIVES: The reasons for the implementation of an Emergency Spill Procedure is to minimise the damages caused in the case of a spill, thus reducing the risk to life and the effects on the environment. The procedures are to create awareness and to implement steps that should be followed in the case of a spill. When the situation arises there must be a clear understanding whether the spill poses an immediate threat to life and the environment, or it poses only an environmental threat, as the actions thereafter pertaining to the evacuation will be determined by the situation at hand, and the threat it poses to human life.

TANKER TRUCK SPILLS ON THE ROAD In the event of a Road Spillage the HAZMAT team (0800 147 112) will be contacted which will liase with the Traffic Department and Emergency Services to barricade the area and proceed to clean the spill according to the spill cleaning procedure. TOXIC HAZARDOUS SPILLS In the event of a Toxic Hazardous spill taking place the following steps should be followed: 1. On identifying the spill and assessing the immediate situation at hand the alarm must be raised and

the building evacuated. 2. The responsible persons must be alerted, Emergency Controller, Emergency Teams, Risk Cotroller<

Security, Medical Centre, Management and the Emergency Services. 3. The immediate area should already be evacuated, and depending on the situation at hand, thought

should be given to the surrounding areas. Weather conditions must be monitored. 4. Roll call must be taken, and the Emergency Controller notified. 5. Any immediate action which can safely be carried out to minimise, or isolate the source of the spill

should be carried out and the responsible persons notified of the progress. 6. The Emergency Team who has the correct PPE and training for the situation at hand may perform a

primary attack on the spill, by placing booms, bunding, vapour suppressant materials, absorbents and the covering up of drainage areas, before the Emergency Services arrive.

Should the Emergency Team not have the training or necessary PPE or equipment, the area will be isolated and the Emergency Services called in.

7. Specialist in this field will be called in to safely dispose of the spill and to monitor the effect this has on

the surrounding environment. All toxic/hazardous material spilled must be treated as hazardous waste. This waste must be contained in a spilled container, disposed of as certified hazardous waste at a licensed site.

8. The Risk Department must ensure a safe disposal waste certificate, for the correct disposal of the hazardous waste is received. The Department of Water Affairs and Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and the relevant local government departments will be notified immediately by Site Management.

Date: 17 July2013


55

NON TOXIC SPILLS In the event of a non-toxic spill (e.g. Syrup) taking place the following action shall be taken. 1. On identifying the situation at hand the control room and manager must be informed. 2. The Risk Department and security must also be notified. 3. Responsible persons in the area must take steps to isolate the spill and contain it. Such steps may

include manually isolating valves, bunding, booming, blocking of drains, applying of absorbents and any other steps that may prevent the spill from running.

4. Should the situation at hand require resources beyond our capability, the Emergency Services or

Specialists will be called in to take control of the spill, and the safe disposal of the product will be carried out. Should it be required local government departments, Department of Water Affairs and Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism will be contacted.

5. After spill replenish spill equipment (i.e. refill spill kit with absorbent or husk).

EFFLUENT PLANT - WATER COURSE SPILLAGES Spills during summer months If a spillage is found in the water course leading to the side pond, or already in pond, by either our team or Springs Municipality, either party must inform one another, as well as the Risk Department, on (011) 363-9075. Due to the uncertainty of rainstorms during the summer months, any contaminated water space must immediately be boomed off with the necessary spill clean-up equipment. Water samples must be taken and sent for analysis, immediately stating the urgency of acquiring the results. Spills during Winter Months If a spillage is noted in the water course leading to side pond, or already in side pond, by either our team or Springs Municipality, either party must inform one another, as well as the Risk Department, on (011) 363-9075. Any contaminated water space must immediately be boomed off with the necessary spill clean-up equipment. Water samples must be taken and sent for analysis, once results have been received and they reveal that Distell Springs is responsible, a reputable spill cleaning company (HAZMET – used at the moment) must be called to assist with the clean-up operation. If the results show that Distell Springs is not responsible, these results must be discussed with the Springs Municipality in order to determine what action must be taken. Responsibility for Spillage’s Irrespective of whether or not Distell Springs is responsible for the spillage, we will take all necessary precautions until the results received from the water samples taken confirm if Distell Springs is responsible for the spillage or not. If Distell Springs is responsible for a spillage into the watercourse leading to side pond, an incident report must be created and the incident fully investigated. Additionally, Site Management must contact the Department of Water Affairs and inform them of the spillage. If Distell Springs is not responsible for a spillage into the watercourse then the results must be handed over to the Springs Municipality to be dealt with further.

PROCEDURE FOLLOWING A FIRE WHERE RADIO ACTIVE SOURCES ARE PRESENT

1. The area where the radioactive sources are present should be cordoned off and the Engineering

Department notified immediately 2. A radiation level count must be taken to establish the radiation given off by the source. 3. If the radiation level is above 200 milliroentgens/hr the area must remain cordoned off and the

Department of National Health and Population Development contacted for specific instructions (24 hour emergency no.)

4. If the radiation level is below 200 milliroentgens/hr, it must be established whether the safety shutter is

open or closed. 5. If the safety shutter is open it must be closed. 6. Once the safety shutter is closed the source can be removed and stored in a safe place. 7. In the event of the safety shutter jamming in the open position, the source must be removed taking

care not to have persons in front of the source aperture. The source must be stored in a safe place with the aperture faced down until removal for repair or disposal can be organised.

8. If the fire was so intense that the actual capsule surrounding the sealed source becomes damaged. If

the source was made up of Caesium Powder this could leak and if a person came into contact with this powder it may stick to their clothing or shoes.

9. Special care should be taken not to touch anything in the vicinity of the source, unless with a gloved

hand. 10. Once the emergency has been dealt with, persons who entered the contaminated area should gather

in a central place. Clothing or shoes suspected of being contaminated must be carefully removed and placed in plastic bags, and sealed.

All incidents involving radioactivity should be reported to the Department of Health
